Greetings,

My Book "Under an Expanse of Oaks: A Druid's Journey" has been picked up by Dreamz Work Productions LLC www.dreamz-work.com and will soon be published. I will be posting more here and of course it will eventually appear under recommended reading lol. I am excited by this prospect and look forward to the publication to come. I'll keep the site posted as to how its going.

Yours Under the Trees,
Rev. David P. Smith (Duir) /|\

When I "officially" started my Druidic Journey 12 years ago, with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, I started as a solitary. Though the order offered a tutor program and there was a grove nearby I started out working completely on my own. Durring this time I started building the blocks that would be the foundations of my future studies in Druidry.

(This is a meditation I wrote for my Druid Grove's Alban Eiler ceremony right before these words are spoke by the ritual leader hard boiled eggs are handed to each person. Try the meditation out it is a nice feeling meditation that really can help open your mind.)

Thank you for these gifts. Let us now take the time to quiet ourselves.

Let us close our eyes. Become aware of your breathing. In and out, the air cooling as it goes in, In and Out, the air gently warmed as it goes out.

To anyone who sits and listens intently with his or her very soul, no matter where in the world he or she might be, he or she hears the call deep inside leading him or her to those ancient magical places. These special sacred spaces, whether known to many, such as Stonehenge, or known to only a guarded few, seem to call forth to those who would tune themselves to nature, and quiet themselves and hear nature’s song. The sacred Earth guides them to these places and gives special blessings to their rites.
